In 2014, the Chinese Government dispatched the 16th medical team to the Democratic Republic of Congo. The 16th medical team consisted of 17 members who were stationed at the Sino-Congolese Friendship Hospital, which is located in N'djili, Kinshasa. The team completed its term of service between May 2014 and June 3, 2016. The Chinese Government also provided an RMB 48 million grant for the construction of the Sino-Congolese Friendship Hospital (recorded in Record ID#438). The Chinese Government has been sending medical teams to the Democratic Republic of Congo since 1973. However, due to internal turmoil, the Chinese Government stopped sending medical teams from 1997 to 2008. Hubei Province has been responsible for sending the medical teams.
